West Virginia has had its share of both ups and downs this season as the Mountaineers play their inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference and redshirt junior safety Darwin Cook can say the same.

"We were up and then we were down on ourselves, but we've just got to fight," he said.

Cook came into the season on a high-note after a breakout first year as a starter that included returning the now infamous 99-yard fumble return for a touchdown and subsequent tackle of Obie the mascot against Clemson in the Orange Bowl.
